A Philbrook Museum visitor examines "Intersections," which is artwork created by Anila Quayyum Agha. It is part of the special exhibit "Shadow of Time."

TULSA---A giant black cube hangs from the ceiling of Philbrook Museum of Art’s Helmerich Gallery. A single small lightbulb in the center blasts light through an intricate laser-cut design resulting in the space-filling with shadows that create various patterns across the walls, ceiling, floor, and support pillars. It is an entire room turned into a stunning work of art comprised of shadows and light. Artist Anila Quayyum Agha looks at her creation titled “Intersections” as people walk around the installation taking it all in as patterned shadows cover their bodies. Beginning Nov. 10, museum visitors will be able to witness the awe-inspiring creation when “Shadow of Time” opens to the public. It runs through Feb. 16. [More]
